One of my favorite days that I learned about while studying the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith is Tu B'Shevat! One way to love others is to take care of them! One way of taking care of the next generation is by planting trees!

I challenge you to look deeper into what it means to love others. Loving others is an expression of self and the love you have for yourself and the world. Families make up communities and communities make up the world!

Take time to notice the colorful art work of people painted all around you, a magnificent body of beauty with a single soul…called humankind. My favorite Jewish teachings about Tu B’Shevat is that on this day we remember that “man is a tree of the field” (Deut. 20:19).
